δαίμων

The Greek word δαίμων (daimōn) is defined as a demon. It is part of the broader semantic domain of Deity & Divine, indicating that it is related to divine beings or powers. This word appears twice in the Bible, suggesting its significance is not in frequency of use, but perhaps in context or emphasis. Given this definition and semantic domain, it is likely that δαίμων refers to entities that are considered divine or supernatural. Its usage in the text is limited to these two instances, which implies that the word carries a weighty connotation, possibly referencing malevolent or powerful beings. As a relatively rare word, δαίμων may be used to evoke a sense of otherness or to convey a level of reverence or fear. In the context of the Bible, the two instances of this word may indicate a particular focus on the supernatural, possibly in relation to spiritual powers or malevolent entities.
